Answer:-

The reaction of 2-bromopropane reacts with sodium iodide in acetone is an example of Sn2 reaction.

The I - attacks from backside to give the transition state for both.

If we compare the transition state for cyclobromopropane 2-bromopropane then we see in case of cyclobromopropane transition state, one of the H is very close to the incoming I -.

This results in steric strain and less stability of the transition state. Hence 2-bromopropane reacts with sodium iodide in acetone over 104 times faster than bromocyclopropane.

As of right now, which of the following forms of nuclear power is the most feasible for human use?
nikitadnepr [17]

As of now, the nuclear fission is the most feasible energy source for human use. All the nuclear power plants are based on the controlled nuclear fission reaction, where the unstable nucleus is bombarded with high speed neutrons, thus, splitting the nucleus into stable ones and releasing huge amount of energy. The nuclear fusion requires very high temperature, the temperature equal's to that of the sun. Hence, it is not feasible right now. As the technology advances, we will see advancement in other form of energies.

A water bottle has a mass of 14.0g. Given a density of 1.38g/cm^3, what is the volume of the plastic used to make the water bott
Kipish [7]

Answer:

\boxed{\sf Volume \ of \ plastic \ used = 10.14 \ cm^3}

Given:

Mass = 14.0 g

Density (\rho) = 1.38 g/cm³

To Find:

Volume (V)of the plastic used to make water bottle

Explanation:

Formula:

\boxed{ \bold{Density \ (\rho) = \frac{Mass \ (m)}{Volume \ (V)}}}

Substituting value of m & density in the formula:

\sf \implies 1.38 =  \frac{14.0}{V} \\  \\   \sf \implies V =  \frac{14.0}{1.38} \\  \\   \sf \implies V = 10.14 \ cm^3

\therefore

Volume of the plastic used to make water bottle = 10.14 cm³
